The themes
The numerous themes debated throughout the day have been divided into five topical macro-areas: e-commerce and social media, marketing and communication, innovation and business, law and web, talent scouting and human resources. “Each of the five themes has its own dedicated room, – we read in the press release of the event – where you’ll find courses and non-stop conferences on specific subjects held by experts and professionals from the sector. You’ll be able to find out how to start an e-commerce activity, what the business and innovation methodologies helping you develop your company are, and details of concrete history cases like the social phenomena “il Milanese imbruttito” and “il Tamarro di Torino”. You will also be able to take part in round tables debating subjects linked to the development of the professions of the future and to digital innovation with expert speakers from companies like LinkedIn, The Adecco Group’ s recruiting and human resources development departments, and Elena Chiorino, regional assessor of education, work, professional development and the right to a university education”. The BiDigital day will also include an area dedicated to emerging startups, where you can speak with advisors and representatives of established and new companies in view of generating new opportunities for collaboration.
